Anyways back on topic...Underdog just seems so old to make a movie out of, or something like that.

Or Maybe it is like KROW said, Because of the Commercial Underdog has gotten some attention.

or maybe its another studios quest to obtain Nostalgia factor by bringing back a somewhat obscure character on a bigger scale.

I'd like to find the person who came up with this dumbass idea, string him up by his toenails and sumbit him to Chinese water torture.

Um... it'll be in theatres this fall supposadly. Kevin Smith wrote the script. No clue who's playing the infamous descendent of The Lone Ranger tho.

Hey... at least it's not as bad as the upcoming Green Lantern film staring Jack Black.

Now that one, thankfully, was totally fake.

Just got back from seeing Underdog!

This is a cute film for Beagle fans like myself....it's also very hilarious. There are elements of Superman in it like
Spoiler:
Underdog changing in a phone booth


Spoiler:
The movie starts out with Shoeshine just being a bumbling idiot of a police dog. He made a fool of himself and leaves the force. Only to be captured by the bad guys. Simon Bar Sinister (played convincingly eevily by Peter Dinklage, known amongst sci-fi fans as the midget in the short lived tv series Threshold) is experiementing on dogs. Trying to make some sort of serum to make em more human. Simon tells Cad (played by Patrick "SPOOOON!!!" Warburton) To prepare the Beagle. Well the dog was warned by another dog what Bar Sinister was doing and he escapes (but not before the serum combo falls on his fur, giving him powers. One thing leads to another and he gets a home and a name. He was named Shoeshine by Dan Unger (Jim Belushi) because the dog kept on licking his shoes. Dan's son soon learns the dog has powers and kinda becomes the sidekick.

Thruought the film the boy learns the value of friendship and family and Shoeshine learns to be a hero (albeit reluctantly at first).

All in all a good movie. Polly reminds me of Lois Lane (well her owner, Molly, IS a reporter after all) in some ways. Especially since she loves Underdog but can't stand the bumbling idiot she thinks Shoeshine is.

The special effects are good. Except for one of the ending scenes where Underdog crashes to earth after saving the city. As Jack Unger picks up the motionless dog you can SOO totally tell it was a plush dog.

Raph's Girl.... I just lost all respect for you!

(honestly, I was willing to give this a chance until I saw Jim Belushi was in it!)
